Should I pick a different cam?

I was wondering if I should sell my hks 280s and go with some bf 272s or maybe kelford 272. I know those 272 have a more agressive lift but I haven't seen any data on hks 280s.

camS you mean?

I have HKS 280's and I see no reason to upgrade, unless you want to build your head and do springs/retainers, then go with the BF272's, they are increadible. Depends a lot on your setup (as most will say) so how about a mod list?

I say do it, I wanna see someone local run these faulkers. I'm keeping my 280s for quite some time though, too much stuff to rip apart for me, I'll go FP red before I tear my head apart.

What size turbo do you have? If its not a 35r or bigger I would stay with the HKS 280's

mods will be 2.3 + 35R. I most likely will only run pump gas for a while on a single walbro.

I'm not sure the BF272 would be able to do their thing on a stock head.

pump gas, dude, go dual and then go to DB for an E85 tune, you'll have an insane setup....

I putting money first into the 35r and cams. I don't have enough to go dual pump that's why I decided to stay on pump gas. I talked to shane already .
